What a week! 

I can barely believe I am now posting portraits of two boys.

Welcome to the world, our precious little one. Our sleepy, squeaky, chilled out little mouse.

And welcome to brotherhood, our biggest boy. It's been a really tough week for you.

Footpath philosopher

My favourite shots this year. (Nope, couldn't choose.)

A morning I want to remember, just him and me.

Having a serious conversation with me over a 'big boy' cino and marshmallows at our local. Afterwards we went train watching, followed by a visit to his baby cousin.

He is becoming quite the conversationalist, engaging in long phone calls with his Dad:

'Oh that's exciting! And what did you do next Dad?'

He tickles me with his language, the way he beams and says 'No pleasure!' when thanked, mixing up 'no worries' and 'my pleasure'.

Little bookworm

He's recently started 'reading' to himself. I love it.

I've also had a few mama wins of late - a fed, bathed and content boy, ready for books and bedtime snuggles. It feels like some sort of jackpot.

Portrait-worthy on both counts.

Little kitchen helper perks

I wanted to make muffins. 

He chose chocolate.

Sweet deal all round.

Hot, sweaty delight

For a kid that's been slow to warm up to playgrounds, yesterday he had the most fun he has had on a swing. 

Possibly ever.
